Congratulations! By simply looking for a therapist to help you address whatever problem you are currently facing, you have already taken the first step to making your life better. I help clients to identify the small, oftentimes overlooked steps that they are currently making and then help them identify what other steps are needed to find lasting change. Whether the problem is a life transition (i.e., family, employment, relationship) or something you have struggled with for years (i.e., depression, anxiety, addiction, history of abuse), I work with clients to envision a life in which these problems are resolved forever. In working in this way, clients not only resolve the current problems but discover the answers they have been longing for in order to understand themselves and move forward to a life of which they previously only dreamed.

Christie is the founder and managing partner for The Boulder Center for Play Therapy. BCPT provides a unique, strength based, play-filled therapeutic environment for children, adolescents, couples, families and adults. Play therapy isn’t all about toys & games but rather approaching yourself gently (vs. working really hard on yourself) because the openness of play builds trust in one’s self, reduces stress, encourages communication, supports learning, promotes creative problem solving, and elevates mood.

I specialize in EMDR trauma therapy, couple therapy, PTSD, complex trauma, men's work, and "Nice Guy" recovery. I'm level 2 PACT certified and in my marriage and couple counseling practice I focus on helping couples to deepen their connection and intimacy by coming to a greater understanding of each other's history, learning to build a trusting, secure relationship, and reignite and strengthen their connection. I also specialize in working with Nice Guy recovery. My work with men reworks unhealthy and destructive relationship patterns, caretaking behaviors that are unfulfilling and exhausting, and finding a deep foundation of true strength that's supported by greater empathy.
